  • Derek Carr QB | NO

    Raiders' Derek Carr: Two turnovers in loss

    Carr completed 33 of 45 passes for 263 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 48-9 loss to the Chiefs.

    Carr failed to get the Raiders offense moving while the game remained competitive. He led a scoring drive to close the first half, though the field goal made the score 35-3. His lone touchdown came on the first possession of the second half, when he found Hunter Renfrow for a four-yard score. Otherwise, Carr was largely unimpressive as he managed only 5.8 yards per attempt, and he also lost a fumble when he was sacked early in the third quarter. Carr will head into a Week 15 matchup against Cleveland having failed to throw for multiple touchdowns in each of his last four games.

  • Justin Herbert QB | LAC

    Chargers' Justin Herbert: Another strong showing

    Herbert completed 23 of 31 pass attempts for 275 yards and three touchdowns against the Giants on Sunday.

    Herbert established control from start to finish against the Giants, making productive targets out of secondary receivers Jalen Guyton (three catches for 87 yards and one touchdown on three targets) and Josh Palmer (five catches for 66 yards and one touchdown on seven targets) while lead target Keenan Allen sat due to COVID-19 protocols. Herbert's case for elite quarterback status continues to get stronger -- both in real football terms and in fantasy -- and with this game he has 300 or more yards passing in eight games this year, including five of the last six. The Chargers will face off against the Chiefs in Week 15, making for what could be the most important game on the slate. Herbert lit up the Chiefs for four touchdowns the first time around in Week 3 at Arrowhead, but the Chiefs defense has played better in recent weeks than it did to open the year.

  • Chiefs' Patrick Mahomes: Highly efficient in win

    Mahomes completed 20 of 24 passes for 258 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions in Sunday's 48-9 win over the Raiders. He added four rushes for 20 yards.

    Mahomes picked apart the Raiders defense in the first half, putting up 176 yards and two touchdowns. However, the Chiefs were up 35-3 at halftime, so Mahomes took to the air only nine times in the final two quarters. As a result, his stat line doesn't look as robust as it otherwise could have. Even so it, was a reassuring performance, as Mahomes averaged over 10 yards per attempt for the first time since Week 2. Next up, he and the Chiefs will draw a matchup Thursday against the Chargers.

  • Andy Dalton QB | PHI

    Bears' Andy Dalton: Taking seat Sunday

    Dalton (hand) is inactive for Sunday's contest at Green Bay.

    Dalton injured his non-throwing hand during last Sunday's spot start against the Cardinals, and his inability to practice Wednesday through Friday didn't give him much of a chance to be available this weekend. Even if he was, though, he would have been Justin Fields' backup after the rookie was cleared to return from the small rib fractures that sidelined him the past two games. Instead, Nick Foles will serve as the No. 2 to Fields on Sunday.

  • Daniel Jones QB | IND

    Giants' Daniel Jones: Visit with specialist on tap Monday

    Jones is slated to visit with a specialist and also will undergo another scan on his neck Monday, coach Joe Judge told Shannon Spake on the Fox broadcast of Sunday's game against the Chargers.

    Jones traveled to L.A. early last week to meet with a specialist regarding his strained neck, but he has yet to be cleared for contact, as evidenced by the Giants listing him as limited in practice Wednesday through Friday and ultimately ruling him out for a second consecutive contest. Mike Glennon has filled in for Jones during the latter's absence, but the offense has been futile, with just 22 points through nearly eight quarters of action. Monday's potential developments could set in motion the return of Jones to the top of the QB depth chart.

  • P.J. Walker QB | SEA

    Panthers' P.J. Walker: Mixed bag as in-game replacement

    Walker took over for an ineffective Cam Newton with 6:10 remaining in the Panthers' 29-21 loss to the Falcons on Sunday and completed six of 12 passes for 75 yards with a touchdown and an interception while losing five yards on two rushes. He also committed a fumble but recovered.

    Walker wasn't able to fare much better than the man he replaced under center, but he did manage to lead a six-play, 51-yard scoring march late in the fourth quarter that he capped off with a five-yard touchdown pass to Robby Anderson. David Newton of ESPN.com reports coach Matt Rhule confirmed after the game that Newton is still the starter, but as was made clear Sunday, he likely won't hesitate to make a switch if things start to go south in Week 15 on the road against the Bills.

  • Tyler Huntley QB | BAL

    Ravens' Tyler Huntley: Takes over for injured starter

    Huntley took over for Lamar Jackson (ankle) on Sunday, completing 27 of 38 pass attempts for 270 yards and a touchdown, adding 45 yards on six rushing attempts in a 24-22 loss to Cleveland.

    Jackson went down early in the second quarter with an apparent ankle injury and had to be carted off the field. Huntley took over and did his best impression of the star quarterback he replaced, leading the Ravens to a late comeback attempt that fell a two-point conversion away from tying the game. The second-year quarterback already flashed his dual-threat ability this season in a Week 11 spot start for Jackson, when he completed 72 percent of his passes and rushed for 40 yards. We will get a Week 15 status update on Jackson when he undergoes an MRI on Monday, but Huntley is beginning to prove that he can step up anytime the Ravens' best player is sidelined.

  • Zach Wilson QB | NO

    Jets' Zach Wilson: Inaccurate sans Davis, Moore

    Wilson completed 19 of 42 passes for 202 yards while adding 33 rushing yards on four attempts in Sunday's 30-9 loss to the Saints. He didn't have a touchdown or turnover.

    Wilson struggled mightily without top two wide receivers Corey Davis (groin) and Elijah Moore (quadriceps), both of whom are on IR. He didn't eclipse 100 passing yards until the Jets fell behind 23-6 in the fourth quarter. Wilson didn't get any help on the ground, either, finishing as the Jets' leading rusher in the game. Given the injury-riddled state of the team around him and his own inconsistent play, the rookie second overall pick will be tough to trust in Week 15 against the hot Dolphins defense.

  • Kyle Allen QB | BUF

    Football Team's Kyle Allen: Replaces injured starter

    Allen completed four of nine passes for 53 yards against Dallas on Sunday.

    Allen stepped in after starter Taylor Heinicke left the game with a knee injury in the fourth quarter. Allen lacks Heinicke's athleticism and big-play ability in general, so he'd likely be a downgrade from his teammate in both a football and fantasy sense. However, Allen is the next man up if Heinicke can't play against Philadelphia in Week 15.

  • Lamar Jackson QB | BAL

    Ravens' Lamar Jackson: Will be evaluated Monday

    The Ravens plan to see how Jackson feels Monday before any determinations are made on how to proceed with the QB's right ankle injury, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

    Per Russini, there's hope from the team that Jackson, who sported a walking boot following Sunday's loss to the Browns, may have escaped with a low-ankle sprain. However, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic relays that there is some concern it may be a high-ankle issue for the signal-caller. If Jackson is forced to miss any time, Tyler Huntley is next up for Baltimore's QB reps.
